Abstract
Should the peoples scope for action be limited to electing their representatives, or should it include the opportunity of deciding certain issues for themselves directly? And in the latter eventuality, how and by what formal means? These are questions which are constantly being considered by national parliaments.
The present report, by the Council of Europe's Committee on Parliamentary and Public Relations, is a comparative study of the instruments of direct democracy in Europe. lt seeks to provide inspiration for countries currently setting out along the road of direct democracy or for countries which are already well down that road but want to reform their institutions.
